ETC does not need to be transferred after vehicle ownership transfer. There are three ways to handle ETC after vehicle transfer: When the vehicle transfer is completed and the license plate number remains unchanged, you can go to the bank branch where it was originally processed to complete the information change procedures; When the vehicle is transferred and the license plate number is changed: complete the unbinding procedure, then reapply for ETC for the new vehicle according to regulations; After vehicle transfer occurs, cancel ETC. ETC charging principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through microwave dedicated short-range communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, computer networking technology is used to conduct background settlement with the bank, achieving the purpose of vehicles not needing to stop at road and bridge toll stations to pay road and bridge fees. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Save time: eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and environmentally friendly: green and low-carbon, vehicles passing through toll stations without stopping can reduce noise and exhaust emissions, reducing pollution; Save wear and tear: save costs, reduce the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, and reduce wear and fuel consumption; Improve efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can be increased by 2-3 times or more, making traditional ETC updates faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key urban agglomerations will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased," and clearly proposed in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development that "by 2020, the ETC usage rate of road passenger vehicles will reach 50%". More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the usage rate of ETC passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC for trucks, explore the deep integration of the ETC system with the development direction of smart transportation such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, and provide car owners with comprehensive travel services, which means that more application scenarios will support ETC applications. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front stopping, to prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, keep a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to prevent automatic sensing from paying for the vehicle in front. The recognition speed for passing through ETC lanes is 20km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also lead to charging failure. Unauthorized disassembly or movement of the OBU device, ETC electronic tag falling off or loosening, etc., will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was processed or the highway office for testing. Non-human loosening or falling off only requires reactivation. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance will also lead to charging failure. You can follow the guidance of on-site staff to go to the manual MTC lane and use cash or card to pass. The windshield of the car is too thick, resulting in poor sensing. Especially for vehicles that have been repaired after an accident and have had the windshield replaced, or friends who have modified the front windshield need to pay attention.

What is the best solution for rear drum brake lock-up in cars?

Floor the accelerator pedal - as long as the rear wheels start moving, the problem will be resolved. Use a hammer or similar tool to strike the brake drum a couple of times to separate the contact surface between the brake drum and brake shoes. After washing the car or when the brake drums get wet from rain, avoid parking immediately. Drive for a while and apply the brakes several times to allow the moisture inside to evaporate.

How to Fix a Locked Rear Wheel on a Car?

Generally, if the brake drum gets wet after washing the car or in the rain and the handbrake is applied, leaving it parked for a long time can cause the wheel to lock up.

The principle is to heat and melt the adhesive, making it much easier to peel off. This is the most commonly used method for removing emblems.

What to Do When the Car Cannot Detect the Key and Fails to Start?
